Hii. Let me answer your question!!!
[tex]\huge{----------------}[/tex]
Let's solve this problem step-by-step:
1. Calculate the volume of each cone.
The volume of a cone is given by:
[tex]V_{cone} = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h\: units^{3}[/tex]
where:
In this case, we have two cones with different heights:
[tex]V_{cone1} = \frac{1}{3}\times \frac{22}{7} \times(2.1 cm)^{2}\times4.1 cm[/tex]
[tex]V_{cone2} = \frac{1}{3}\times \frac{22}{7} \times(2.1 cm)^{2}\times 4.3 cm[/tex]
2. Calculate the total volume of the melted cones.
Since the cones are melted together, their volumes simply add up:
[tex]V_{total} = V_{cone1 }+ V_{cone2}[/tex]
3. Calculate the radius of the sphere.
The volume of a sphere is given by:
[tex]V_{sphere }= \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}\: units^{3}[/tex]
where:
We want to find the radius of the sphere that has the same volume as the melted cones. Therefore, we can set Vtotal equal to Vsphere and solve for r:
[tex]V_{total }= \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}[/tex]
[tex]V_{cone1} = 18.942[/tex]
[tex]V_{cone2} = 19.866[/tex]
[tex]V_{total }= V_{cone1}+V_{cone2} = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}[/tex]
[tex]V_{total }= 18.942+19.866 = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}[/tex]
[tex]38.808 = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}[/tex]
[tex]38.808 \times \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{7}{22}= r^{3}[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow r^{3} = 9.261[/tex]
[tex]r = \sqrt[3]{9.261}\: cm[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow r = 2.1 \:cm[/tex]
4. Calculate the diameter of the sphere.
Finally, the diameter of the sphere is simply twice its radius:
Diameter = [tex]2 \times r[/tex]
Diameter = [tex]2 \times 2.1 \:cm[/tex]
[tex]\bold{Diameter} = 4.2 \: cm \rightarrow \rightarrow Option \:(C)[/tex]
